One thing regarding AVRs I found out about is that some manufacturers, such as Denon, require their online vendors to only put list price on their web site. But if you call them, they often give substantial discounts. I tried this and at first had no luck, but then I called another place and mentioned I was a reader of AVS forum, and that I heard from there that vendors often have actual pricing lower than listed on the web page. I was able to get a Denon AVR3312CI, which lists for $1099, from an authorized dealer for $899. This unit has preamp outs.
Another thing with Denon is that if you do not buy from an authorized dealer, they will not honor the warranty. They list Amazon as an authorized dealer, but be very careful with this. If you don't get it from Amazon directly, but from one of their "partners", and that partner is not an authorized dealer, you may be out of luck. So if you're looking at Denon and buying online, go to their list of authorized online dealers and call several of them for the best price. I also recommend checking AVS forum as they have lots of tidbits of inside info such as this. -- andy_c ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andy_c's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93948 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
